The paper investigates how cluster dispersal affects microbial community assembly, showing it promotes homogenization and alters species abundance compared to individual dispersal.

This study quantifies how genotype-dependent gene flow affects mutation fixation in subdivided populations, finding similar fixation probabilities but different fixation times between island and stepping stone models.

The paper develops a stochastic model to explain diversity patterns in microbial communities based on dispersal and division rates, validates it with simulations and equations, and applies metrics to experimental data.

This study develops a new stochastic population genetics model to analyze fixation probabilities in diploid, sexually reproducing populations and finds that sexual reproduction reduces beneficial mutant fixation compared to clonal reproduction, except under overdominance.
